Broken-up ex-boyfriends come back

Armed Detective Agency——

"Dazai——!!!"

A pen smashed with incomparably swift force onto the head of the black-haired young man who had just returned after wandering outside for a whole day.

"You bastard! It's okay to talk about recuperating at the beginning! It's been half a month and it should be enough! Give me a good job!"

"Kunikida is really too much."

Osamu Dazai, who closed the door of the detective agency, slowly shook his bandaged arm.

"It's not my arm that matters, it's my hurt heart..." As he spoke, he held his forehead in a playful manner, closed his eyes, shook it a few times, and then lay down on the sofa with an 'ah' sound. "It is riddled with holes, and it needs to rest for another half, no, a month to barely recover."

"It's your face that's riddled with holes!"

Kunikida Doppo's forehead kept showing blue veins.

They didn't know what happened, but when they noticed, Osamu Dazai was back to his former self.

Holding the "Complete Suicide Manual" that I haven't seen for a long time in my hand, humming an out-of-tune self-compiled love song for suicide.

Then, he couldn't see anyone again all day long, Kunikida Doppo's plan was frequently interrupted again after a long time, he needed to—

1. Go to the river to catch Dazai.

2. Go and put down Dazai who is stuck on the beam.

3. Endure the harassment of Dazai, who became insane after eating poisonous mushrooms.

4.…

And so on a series of things that make the listener sad and the hearer cry.

Mr. Kunikida, who is upright and serious, has lofty ideals, and works hard every day according to the plan, begins to haggard at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's like going back to the past when whenever I heard this guy's voice, my eyes turned black and my lower abdomen ached."

Said Kunikida Doppo, who is under increasing pressure and feels that his lifespan is shrinking.

"Although I don't know what's going on, but Mr. Dazai must have provoked that Hong Kong black gravity envoy first."

Miyazawa Kenji raised his index finger and said.

"You must have done something nasty again."

Yosano Akiko looked at the black-haired young man lying on the sofa, and the other party took out a pair of bluetooth earphones to wear on his head, and then took out the "Complete Suicide Manual" with white letters and red background.

Half a month ago, Nakahara Chuya came to the detective agency aggressively, and he arrived before anyone came——

"Dazai——!!! Get out of here, you bastard!"

They almost thought that the port mafia was coming to fight again, but the other party just gritted their teeth and pretended not to give up until Osamu Dazai was beaten to death, and didn't even look at them.

Then came a brutal beating.

Looking at the orange-haired young man in a berserk state, they almost thought that Osamu Dazai would die today at the age of 22.

As a result, the person who was grabbed by the collar and pinned to the ground chuckled as if he didn't care.

"Mingming also understands that even without me, the result is the same."

The opponent's movements froze for an instant, and the fist raised in the air never fell down.

"Chuya is expressing his anger."

Osamu Dazai lazily turned over, and covered his face with the book in his hand, making his expression invisible.

"How much trouble are you going to cause me!"

When Doppo Kunikida, who had been disrupted for the first time, found Osamu Dazai who had failed to commit suicide again, he was sitting by the river with his whole body wet, with an extremely calm expression.

"It won't come again."

The black-haired youth suddenly said such a sentence without thinking.

Kunikida Doppo suppressed his twitching brows, folded his arms around his chest, and tapped his toes frequently because of anxiety.

"I said, since you can't let go, why don't you get it back?"

Osamu Dazai didn't answer right away, he seemed to be looking at the river, but he didn't seem to be looking at anything.

"...Because I don't want to be hated."

While he was in a daze, the other party stood up again as if nothing had happened, stretched his waist and exhaled, then put his hands into his soaked pockets, and passed him by.

"Let's go back."

However, even if the lazy guy was brought back, the other party did not work well.

He should have known about this kind of thing from the very beginning—what a ghost!

Whenever I see it, I feel very hot!

The pen in Kunikida Doppo's hand almost pierced the paper.

"Mr. Dazai, here is a commission for the military and police...Mr. Dazai???"

Atsushi Nakajima looked at the black-haired young man lying on the desk carelessly poking the Pokémon doll with a look of shock.

This is not the point, the point is that the other party is wearing a cat ear headband on his head.

— blended perfectly with his black hair.

"What's the matter? Dunjun, with such an expression?"

The other party turned to look at him nonchalantly.

Atsushi Nakajima stretched out his hand and gestured to the top of his head with a dazed expression.

"Ah, this one, I bought it when I was dating Riho, and said it suits me well."

Osamu Dazai pinched the plush cat ears on his head, and then asked for his answer with a smile.

"Is that so? Dun-jun."

This is the first time the other party mentioned the name after that.

Atsushi Nakajima didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he could only say awkwardly: "Well, it's very suitable."

Then the other party suddenly laughed as if they had heard something interesting, and almost burst into tears.

"Hahaha Dunjun, you are too honest."

"This man is hopeless."

Akiko Yosano who passed by grabbed Atsushi Nakajima by the collar.

"Don't worry about him, there's something you need to do here."

"Ah? Okay, here we come!"

Nakajima Atsushi followed behind the other party, and couldn't help but look back halfway.

The black-haired young man has returned to the previous state again, resting his head on the table, resting one hand under his chin and poking the doll with the other hand, his eyes are slightly downcast, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

Obviously just returned to the way it used to be, lazy all day long as before, always unable to find people, and then Mr. Kunikida came back from somewhere, and made jokes with them, even the smile on his face did not change.

But Atsushi Nakajima just felt a little sad for no reason.

"Don't worry about him, he's an adult now, this kind of thing doesn't need to be comforted by others."

He obviously didn't look back, but Miss Yu Xie Ye who was walking in front suddenly spoke as if she knew what he was thinking.

The detective agency is still noisy day after day, and occasionally go to the coffee shop downstairs for a drink when they are free.

When Dazai Osamu and Oda Sakunosuke went to a curry restaurant for dinner together, the other party left for something.

Xingsuke, who had just come back from school, sneaked up to him suddenly, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, are you with that young lady?"

Osamu Dazai, who asked the boss for a glass of water because the curry was too spicy, blinked.

"Which young lady?"

"That's it!"

"That young lady from the Summer Festival!"

"Don't you like her?"

"We also specially brought her there for you."

"..."

Several children chattered one by one.

Osamu Dazai listened to them with a smile, and then showed a sighing expression appropriately: "It failed."

"Eh!?"

Several children shouted out in unison.

"It actually failed?"

"Didn't Odasaku say that you are very popular with girls?"

"Yeah yeah."

"so poor……"

"It's okay, don't be sad, anyway, Oda will accompany you."

"That's right, for Odasaku, I feel like it's hopeless. I won't be able to find a wife in this life."

Osamu Dazai propped his chin with one hand, with the usual curved lips, after taking a sip of the water in the glass, he suddenly said: "Odasaku is right behind you."

"Hey hey hey!"

The children trembled as if they had been caught speaking ill, and turned back nervously.

"I lied to you."

"Wow, that's too much!" x5

"Speaking of which, what exactly was the treasure in Mr. Dazai's treasure map? Have you found it?"

The youngest Saku Le asked in a low voice.

Then the other children stopped complaining and looked at him with bright eyes.

Children of this age are always particularly interested in such things.

Osamu Dazai put down the water glass in his hand, stared at the reflection inside, and then lightly touched the wall of the glass with his index finger.

"Well... I lost it."

"lost?"

"Can I get it back?"

"Pity……"

"So what exactly is it?"

"——Secret."

After Oda Sakunosuke returned, the children turned their attention to their guardian.

While the other party was dealing with it, Osamu Dazai quietly ate his portion of curry.

"Speaking of which, Odasaku..."

When the children went upstairs to do their homework and there were only two of them left, Osamu Dazai suddenly spoke.

"Rio wants to be a novelist just like you do."

After thanking the boss for the hot curry, Oda Sakunosuke picked up the spoon, turned his head to look at him, and then looked away.

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"But I'm always insecure."

Osamu Dazai spoke vaguely while sticking out his tongue that was red from the heat, and then drank the remaining water in the glass in one gulp.

"Thought I couldn't write an enjoyable novel."

"If you don't do this kind of thing, no one will know."

Oda Sakunosuke can understand that he also had such worries at the beginning, thinking that he might not be able to meet the expectations of that senior and write a sequel worthy of that book.

"I really want to see what kind of novel Riho will write soon."

Osamu Dazai asked the boss for another glass of water while shaking his empty water glass. When he said this, his eyes sparkled, as if he was looking forward to it.

"In that case, why not ask her to let you read the novel when it's finished."

Oda Sakunosuke didn't ask why the other party ordered spicy curry even though he couldn't eat spicy food.

Even if you ask, you will probably get the idea of ​​wanting to try being scorched to death.

"No, absolutely impossible."

Finally, Osamu Dazai pushed the half of the curry aside as if giving up, and lay on the table, sighing.

"Riho will definitely hide his pseudonym because of shame."

Oda Sakunosuke was a little confused and didn't understand why he felt ashamed, but he still replied: "Ah, there is nothing you can do about it."

"It's not impossible."

Dazai frowned.

"Dazai."

Oda Sakunosuke dug a spoonful of curry, thought for a while and said, "If you peek without permission, you will be hated."

The black-haired young man said briskly, "Of course, I won't do something that would make Riho hate me."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, and began to eat his share of spicy curry.

"That's good."

"Don't Odasaku ask me what I'm going to do?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Well... how about being a loyal reader who accompanied and encouraged her to grow up all the way?"
